'Ole Pau (March 12, 2015)

The winds were strong moving clouds swiftly; tree tops danced

'Ole Pau was also a powerful time for healing work at a very deep level. A visit with my medicine woman reminded me (that is what 'ole po can offer us) of the sacrifices our ancestors and our 'aumakua make for us. The medicine in action led me to remember: 'Mahalo na aumakua' every day. My 'aha (altar) has been expanded by one.
